I am disappointed/frustrated with what has happened. I have tried to fix/repair but cannot. I will have to start from the beginning. I am glad I saved the titles and authors names separately along with books paid for/purchased. Any feedback will be thankful/appreciated. Thanks.
I sympathize. No idea how/why that might have happened, first I've heard of a Lion upgrade specifically affecting calibre. Did you talk to Apple Support? Did you provide details in a post in the calibre forum here so knowledgable calibre people might respond? Anyway, I intentionally trashed all of my eBooks last month and started over from zero, redownloading what I'd bought from Amazon, grabbing Baen free CDs again, etc. So I know a little of what a hassle it is to start over, though in my case I'd feel a lot worse if it had happened against my will….
